Some music is supposed to be disposable that's OK. A lot of music is fun for today, but it isn't supposed to be timeless it's supposed to be trendy.

More quotes by Robbie Robertson
You don't stumble upon your heritage. It's there, just waiting to be explored and shared.
Robbie Robertson
I play guitar quite a bit, because I'm always in search of something. I don't play to jam, but because I'm fishing. I'm looking for something, that I hope you can never find. If I do find it, I'm afraid I won't have a need to do this any more.
Robbie Robertson
Some people love some music, and they hear it a year later and they think, 'What was I thinking?'
Robbie Robertson
I think, some countries, you have to be dead to have your picture on a stamp.
Robbie Robertson
Record making is an extraordinary experience.
Robbie Robertson
Most of my younger Native American friends are not in any way looking for sympathy, and they're not looking to lay guilt on anybody. They have their dignity, and they do what they do.
Robbie Robertson
I like to work on records when I feel inspired, not because it's expected of me.
Robbie Robertson
I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.
Robbie Robertson
If I can play one note and make you cry, then that's better than those fancy dancers playing twenty notes.
Robbie Robertson
There's a bookstore in New York where you could buy scripts, and I got addicted to them because they were easy, quick reads and the pictures were so vivid.
Robbie Robertson
I don't like overt traditionalism.
Robbie Robertson
The rock concert experience for people was really pretty stupid, you know, at the time. People would go to concerts not with the idea of listening at all.
Robbie Robertson
It would be nice to abandon the verse-chorus-bridge structure completely, and make it so none of these things are definable...Make up new names for them. Instead of a bridge, you can call it a highway, or an overpass...Music should never be harmless.
Robbie Robertson
Say a prayer for the lost generation, who spin the wheel out of desperation.
Robbie Robertson
You never know what could be interesting tomorrow.
Robbie Robertson
I haven't been to many music events where somebody was performing and it actually made me cry.
Robbie Robertson
I wanted to develop a guitar style where phrases and lines get there just in the nick of time, like with Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper. Subtleties mean so much, and there is a stunning beauty in them.
Robbie Robertson
I'd always thought Cage's 'Root of an Unfocus' would be great in a movie.
Robbie Robertson
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
Robbie Robertson
Music should never be harmless.
